Production

Jolly Pumpkin beers are aged in oak, including wine barrels, former bourbon barrels and large foudres. The wood contains naturally occurring microbiological cultures including brettanomyces. These cultures impart a flavor profile in the beers described as leathery, earthy, wild and funky. [1] This style of beer has been described as farmhouse ale or American wild ale. The Jolly Pumpkin beer is aged anywhere from 4 weeks up to 2 years or more. [2]

Their Oro de Calabaza won the 2004 Gold and the 2005 Bronze Medal in the Belgian- and French-style ale category at the Great American Beer Festival. [3] Their Bam Bière won the Bronze Medal in the 2009 Great American Beer Festival and was named the 21st best beer in America by Men's Journal . [4]
